about Good Vibes

Good Vibes is an app for the deafblind community that allows two-way communication using smartphones and haptic feedback. as the deafblind can neither hear nor see, the Good Vibes app has an invisible UI, which works mostly through gestures and taps.

how it works

the Good Vibes app works through screen taps that mimic the language of Morse code. taps of different durations form letters and words.

the recipient gets the message through vibrations. a deafblind person can decode the message even with a rudimentary knowledge of Morse.

it is easy to send a message. it only requires the name of the recipient to be added at the start of the message.

once a message is tapped onto the screen using tactile inputs, it can be sent with just a flip of the phone.
